SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

The present invention is directed to a dynamic live dual audit system and its first and second dual audit tests recorded in real time by the method's DVIVD 5 Star Event Data Match Audit Recorder which displays audited CPEI Match and Mismatch Reports and Mismatch audit data System location. The DVIVD Match Audit System and 5 Star Event Data Recorder System Thereof insures audited reports are as inputted by the system auditor and are validated and independently verified CPEI Element Effort Event Data displays whether said data is inputted by an Element Effort Owner or generated by the System automatically from other Element inputted effort event data. The term DVIVD (Dual Validated Independently Verified Dynamic) defines that the system and method are twice validating and independently verifying the system's effort event data. The first is when the source data is input into the system's repository, and the second is when it validates and verifies that the system data that is dynamically constructed and reported from its core database matches the source data that was initially input into the system's repository. The term “CPEI” (Conjoined Project Effort Instance) is defined as a point in time when a People's role, a Place's contribution, and an Object's utilization on a Project intersect when an effort event occurs.

-   -   Auto Efforts 242 will be reported with an Open Star Icon 246, an         outline of a star that is not filled in, according to an Auto         Effort Rules 250 defined in FIG. 13.     -   Auto Inference Associations 244 will be reported according to an         Auto Inference Effort Rules 376 defined in FIG. 16.

FIG. 13 illustrates the DVIVD Match Audit System and 5 Star Event Data Recorder Method Thereof with regard to the approval of Auto Efforts 242.

FIG. 13 details how the System and Method validate and verify Auto Effort 242 data. Auto Efforts 242 conform to the following Auto Effort Rules 250:

-   -   Auto Efforts 242 are automatically generated by the System as a         result of a Reciprocating Association 378 entered into the         System by Element 300 other than the owner. This includes the         reporting of Auto Efforts 242 when the Project 306 enters         Elements 300 who worked on the Project 306.     -   Auto Efforts 242 must pass through an Auto Effort, Manual or         Auto, Auditing Procedure 248, even though the Auto Efforts 242         have not yet gone through the main Data Auditing Processes 334         that pertain to Primary CPEIs 356.     -   Auto Efforts 242 are reported with Open Star Icons 246, the         number of which are dependent on the number of Elements 300 that         are associated and displayed in the Auto Effort 242 according to         Level Rules Audit Processes 141 142 144 146 148.     -   Auto Efforts 242 may be generated by the System and Method         Thereof via Reciprocating Associations 378. For example, if a         People 302 Element 300 inputs they used an Object 308 Element         300 on the Project 306, the Object 308 Element 300 will         automatically receive Auto Effort 242 reporting it was used by         the People 302 on the Project 306.     -   Auto Efforts 242 can be reported with a minimum of two Elements         300 when the Project 306, which is a CPEI Domain Authority 309,         submits an Element 300 had Effort 354 on the Project 306.     -   As more Element Data Fields 364 are fulfilled in the Auto Effort         242, the number of Open Star Icons 246 will increase. In other         words, the Open Star Icons 246 will accumulate until all the         Element Data Fields 364 are fulfilled.     -   Auto Efforts 242 cannot become Primary CPEIs 356 until such time         as the CPEI Owner 352 becomes a participant in the System and         agrees to the Effort 354. Upon agreement, the Auto Effort 242         will then be subject to the Data Auditing Process 334 pertaining         to Primary CPEIs 356.

FIG. 13 also details those validation and verification procedures for Auto Efforts 242 as defined by the Auto Effort Rules 250. Validation and verification procedures include the following:

-   -   The System Auditor 348 can approve or reject the Auto Effort 242         via a DVIVD 5 Star Audit #2 Auto Effort Working Panel Screen         Interface 249. This procedure utilizes CPEI Exhibits 124 and         established Auto Effort Rules 250 as a means for approval. CPEI         Exhibits 124 are stored in the Industry Data Repository Database         104 and may be submitted by the owner of the Auto Effort 242 or         other Elements 300 involved in the Auto Effort 242.     -   If the Auto Effort Rules 250, and an Open Star Rules 252 254         256, have been met, the Auto Effort 242 will be stored in the         Industry Core Database 106 as an Approved Auto Effort 259 with         corresponding Open Star Icons 246. During this this process,         Auto Effort 242 may be deemed Primary CPEI 356 or simply remain         in the Industry Core Database 106 as Approved Auto Effort 259,     -   If the Auto Effort Rules 250 have not been met, the Auto Effort         242 will be stored as an Unapproved Auto Effort 260 within the         Industry Core Database 106 where it will remain inactive.

FIG. 14 details how the DVIVD Match Audit System and 5 Star Event Data Recorder Method Thereof validates and verifies Secondary Efforts 226. Secondary Efforts 226 are awarded to Secondary Element 372 when the following a Secondary Effort Rules 268 have been met:

-   -   The Secondary Effort 226 on Project 306 can be established in         the System when Element 300, also known as Secondary Element         372, has an approved association to the Primary Element 370 on         the Project 306, wherein the Secondary Element 372 supported the         Primary Element 370 in achieving their Primary CPEI 356.     -   When approved by the Project 306 owner, the Secondary Effort 226         will display a Secondary Star Icon 241; if not approved by the         Project 306 owner, the Secondary Effort 226 will display Check         Mark Icon 240.     -   Secondary Efforts 226 will not be displayed if the Primary         Element 370 disapproves.

FIG. 14 also details validation and verification audit procedures for Secondary Efforts 226 as defined by the System and Method which include:

-   -   The System Auditor 348 can approve or reject Secondary Efforts         226 via a DVIVD 5 Star Audit 2 Secondary Effort Working Panel         Screen Interface 267. This is part of a Secondary Effort         Auditing Process 282 which utilizes CPEI Exhibits 124 and         established Secondary Efforts Rules 268 as a means for approval.         CPEI Exhibits 124 are stored in the Industry Data Repository         Database 104 and may be submitted by the owner of the Secondary         Effort 226 or other Elements 300 involved in the Secondary         Effort 226.     -   Secondary Effort Rules 268 are comprised of, but not limited to,         a General DVIVD Rules 270, a DVIVD Audit Level Rules 272, and a         Project Owner Credited Rules 274.     -   If the Secondary Effort 226 meets the requirements and rules         defined by the General DVIVD Rules 270, the Secondary Effort 226         will move on to the DVIVD Audit Level Rules 272 process.         However, if said General DVIVD Rules 270 are not met, the         Secondary Effort 226 will be stored in the Industry Core         Database 106 as an Unapproved Secondary Effort 276 where it will         remain inactive.     -   If the DVIVD Audit Level Rules 272 are met, the Secondary Effort         226 will move on to the Project Owner Credited Rules 274         process. However, if the DVIVD Audit Level Rules 272 are not met         the Secondary Effort 226 will be stored in the Industry Core         Database as Unapproved Secondary Effort 276 where it will remain         inactive.     -   If the Project Owner Credited Rules 274 are met, the Secondary         Effort 226 will be stored in the Industry Core Database 106 as a         Star Marked Approved Secondary Effort 280, wherein the Secondary         Effort 226 will be displayed with the Secondary Star Icon 241.     -   If the Project Owner Effort Rules 274 have not been met, the         Secondary Effort 226 will be stored in the Industry Core         Database 106 as a Check Marked Approved Secondary Credit 278,         wherein the Secondary Effort 226 is displayed with Check Mark         Icon 240 which indicates that, while approved, it has yet to         pass the Project Owner Credited Rules 274.

FIG. 15 illustrates how the DVIVD Match Audit System and 5 Star Event Data Recorder Method Thereof validates and verifies Tertiary Efforts 228. Tertiary Efforts 228 are awarded when a Tertiary Effort Rules 284 have been met and approved:

-   -   Tertiary Efforts 228 can be established when Element 300, also         known as a Tertiary Element 374, has an approved association to         the Secondary Element 372 with the Secondary Effort 226, wherein         the approved association assisted the Secondary Element 372 in         achieving the Secondary Effort 226.     -   Tertiary Efforts 228 must be approved by the Secondary Element         372 which is the subject of the Secondary Effort 226 to which         the Tertiary Effort 228 is associated. When approved by the         Secondary Element 372, the Tertiary Effort 228 will display the         Check Mark Icon 240.

FIG. 15 also details the validation and verification procedures for Tertiary Efforts 228 as defined by the System and Method Thereof. Validation and Verification procedures include the following:

-   -   The System Auditor 348 can approve or reject Tertiary Efforts         228 via a DVIVD 5 Star Auditor Tertiary Working Panel Screen         Interface 283. This is part of a Tertiary Effort Auditing         Procedure 286 which utilizes CPEI Exhibits 124 and established         Tertiary Efforts Rules 284 as a means for approval. CPEI         Exhibits 124 are stored in the Industry Data Repository Database         104 and may be submitted by the owner of the Tertiary Effort 228         or other Elements 300 involved in the Tertiary Effort 228.     -   Tertiary Effort Rules 284 are comprised of, but not limited to,         General DVIVD Rules 270, DVIVD Audit Level Rules 272, and         Project Owner Credited Rules 274.     -   If the Tertiary Effort 228 meets the requirements and rules         defined by the General DVIVD Rules 270, the Tertiary Effort 228         will move on to the DVIVD Audit Level Rules 272 process.         However, if the General DVIVD Rules 270 are not met, the         Tertiary Effort 228 will be stored in the Industry Core Database         106 as an Unapproved Tertiary Effort 290 where it will remain         inactive.     -   If the DVIVD Audit Level Rules 272 are met, the Tertiary Effort         228 will move on to the Project Owner Credited Rules 274         process. However, if said DVIVD Audit Level Rules 272 are not         met, the Tertiary Effort 228 will be stored in the Industry Core         Database 106 as Unapproved Tertiary Effort 290 where it will         remain inactive.     -   If the Project Owner Credited Rules 274 are met, the Tertiary         Effort 228 will be stored as a Star Marked Approved Tertiary         Effort 294 within the Industry Core Database 106, wherein the         Tertiary Effort 228 will be reported with a Tertiary Star Icon         243 indicating its approval status.     -   If the Project Owner Credited Rules 274 have not been met, the         Tertiary Effort 228 will be stored in the Industry Core Database         106 as a Check Marked Approved Tertiary Effort 292 which         indicates that, while approved, it has yet to pass the Project         Owner Credited Rules 274.

FIG. 16 describes the specific DVIVD Match Audit System and 5 Star Event Data Recorder Method Thereof in regards to Auto Inference Associations 244. Auto Inference Association Rules 376 include, but are not limited to, the following:

-   -   1. Auto Inference Associations 244 are automatically generated         by the System when two Elements 300 in the System enter an         Effort Instances 296 having Efforts 354 on a common Project 306         at a common Point in Phasetime 310. These associations are         called an Inference 298.     -   2. Auto Inference Associations 244 are not stored in the tables         in the Industry Core Database 106; they are generated         dynamically by the System based on the Auto Inference         Association Rules 376.     -   3. Auto Inference Associations 244 are considered unverified         associations.     -   4. Only the individual Elements 300, the Project 306, and the         Point in Phasetime 310 can be ascribed to those data fields in         the Auto Inference Association 244.     -   5. The System will utilize an auto responder technology to         contact the Elements 300 in the Auto Inference Association 244         to seek cooperation in verifying and validating the Inference         298 data.     -   6. If the Auto Inference Association 244 is confirmed by the         Element 300 in the Auto Inference Association 244, the Element         300 can request that it be converted to Primary CPEI 356 through         the various Data Auditing Processes 334 which use CPEI Exhibits         124 to verify and validate the data.     -   7. When Auto Inference Associations 244 are verified through the         Data Auditing Processes 334, the approved associations will be         entered into the Industry Core Database 106.
